Rendezvous with Rama

Rendezvous with Rama

Arthur C. Clarke's award-winning classic, Rendezvous with Rama, tells the story of a brief human exploration of an alien vessel. I thought that the novel was very characteristic of Clarke's style, with its careful description, sense of wonder, memorable events and ideas, and forgettable characters. The story is pretty straightforward, and I am surprised, in this era of adaptations, that it hasn't yet been made into a film (apparently there are script-writing issues). I think the novel will continue to be loved for many years to come by fans of hard science fiction.
